As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has 
responsibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and natural resources. This 
includes fostering the wisest use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish 
and wildlife, preserving the environment and cultural values of our national parks and 
historical places, and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. 
The Department assesses our energy and mineral resources and works to assure that 
their development is in the best interests of all our people. The Department also has 
a major responsibility for American Indian reservation communities and for people who 
live in island territories under U.S. administration.

SELECTED SIGNIFICANT MINERAL DEPOSITS IN ALASKA 
A Minerals Availability System Overview 

By Donald W. Baggs, 1 Michael J. Northam, 2 Mark P. Meyer, 3 and Kenneth M. Maas 4 



ABSTRACT 

This Bureau of Mines publication presents a summary of mining activity in Alaska, 
as well as institutional and infrastructural factors affecting mineral development in 
Alaska. Salient information on 67 significant mineral deposits in the State of Alaska 
is presented in abstract form. The deposits covered are those whose principal commod- 
ity is 1 of 20 commodities that appear to have commercial production potential within 
the State. Many of the deposits described are properties evaluated under the Bureau's 
Minerals Availability Program (MAP); additional deposits are included for more com- 
plete coverage. The appendix provides reference information on 214 additional signifi- 
cant mineral deposits.

INTRODUCTION 



About a decade ago. the Bureau of Mines embarked 
upon an ambitious program to systematically assess min- 
eral supplies available to the U.S. economy. The Minerals 
Availability Program (MAP), formally established in 1975 
{46), s provides current appraisals of nonfuel mineral sup- 
plies for consideration in the development of U.S. minerals 
policies. Results of these appraisals are published, on a com- 
modity basis, in a series of availability reports that describe 
the supply of a commodity from domestic or foreign sources 
in terms of tonnage-price relationships. 

The keystones of MAP appraisals are deposit-specific 
evaluations conducted by geologists and engineers in the 
Bureau's field operations centers and by private consultants 
under contract to the Bureau. The deposit evaluations ex- 
amine in detail the geologic, engineering, and economic fac- 
tors that determine the viability of individual deposits. 
Deposit data are obtained from many sources, including 
published and unpublished Bureau reports, records, and 
files; U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Bulletins, Professional 
Papers, and other reports; technical and professional jour- 
nals; State and other Federal agency publications; pro- 
prietary company reports; data generated during field 
examinations; and information obtained from knowledge- 
able individuals. 

The Bureau's purpose in publishing this report is to pre- 
sent, in a single volume, nonproprietary data on significant 



mineral deposits in the State of Alaska. The format pro- 
vides locational, geological, and operational data for selected 
deposits, along with presentation of institutional and infra- 
structural factors affecting mineral development in the 
State. 

Much of the deposit-specific data were derived from 
MAP deposit evaluations that have been conducted over the 
past 10 yr. Additional deposit data, as well as information 
on transportation, water, electricity, natural gas, and taxes, 
were gathered from recent newspapers and journals and 
from interviews with company and State officials. Data on 
mineral production and mining history were obtained from 
publications of the Bureau and of the Alaska Department 
of Natural Resources, Division of Geological and Geophys- 
ical Surveys (ADGGS). It is anticipated that the informa- 
tion contained in this publication will be of benefit to 
geologists, mining engineers, prospectors, mining com- 
panies, suppliers of mining and milling equipment, and 
others directly involved in the State's mineral industry. It 
is also anticipated that the data will be equally as valuable 
to municipal, borough, and State planners, transportation 
and utilities commissions, local tax advisory boards, and 
other public and private organizations that develop policies 
affecting mining and mineral development in Alaska. 



ORGANIZATION OF REPORT 



This publication is organized in the following manner: 
this section is followed by a section that discusses commod- 
ity and deposit selection criteria, a section containing a brief 
summary of the mining history of Alaska, and a section 
describing infrastructural and institutional factors affect- 
ing mining in the State. The site-specific deposit abstract 
section provides detailed information on 67 mineral occur- 
rences. An extensive reference section is followed by an ap- 
pendix, which contains information on additional major 
mineral deposits in Alaska. 

The summary of mining activity section and the infra- 
structural section present background information on the 
minerals industry of Alaska and a description of some 

■' Italicized numbers in parentheses refer to items in the list of references 
preceding the appendix at the end of this report. 



existing infrastructure-institutional factors that affect com- 
mercial development of Alaska's mineral deposits. Units 
of measure in these sections are U.S. customary units, com- 
monly used in engineering. 

The infrastructure section contains brief discussions and 
maps of the transportation (highway, marine, and railroad) 
and utility (electricity and natural gas) networks in the 
State. It also contains general information on permitting 
and taxation procedures and policies affecting mineral 
development in Alaska. 

The largest sections of this publication ("Abstracts of 
Selected Deposits in Alaska" and the appendix) describe 281 
selected significant mineral deposits in Alaska. These 
deposits are shown in figure 1, which is keyed to tables 1 
and 2.

' Chemical symbols are used, except for the following: asb, asbestos; PGM, platinum-group metals; RE, rare-earth elements. 

2 Map numbers refer to locations on figure 1. 

3 Description for this deposit is in the deposit abstract section; other deposits are referenced in the appendix. 



Deposit Abstracts.— The deposit abstract section is a 
series ol single page summaries of information pertaining 
to ti7 of the 281 deposits. The abstracts are arranged alpha- 
betical^ by deposit name. Each abstract is composed of the 
following six main subject areas: 

1. Deposit name and commodity. 

2. Location and ownership. 

3. Geology. 

4. Development. 

5. Published reserves and/or resources. 

6. References. 

Wit Inn each subject area there are several individual data 
elements. Not all data elements, however, are reported for 
each deposit; proprietary data have been omitted, and some 
information has yet to be determined or is not presently 
Available. Mining districts given in the abstracts are iden- 
tified by Bureau mining district names, as shown on figure 
2 and in table 3 (672). 

SI (metric) units are used throughout the deposit ab- 
stracts. Published reserves and/or resources have been 
recalculated into SI units for comparison purposes regard- 
less of the units used in the cited publication. (It is incum- 
bent upon the reader to evaluate the reserve-resource data 
in light of his or her own knowledge, experience, and assess- 
ment of the source's credibility.) 

The reference section of each abstract includes biblio- 
graphic references for the deposit, the largest scale map on 
which the deposit is located (see figure 3 for Alaska quad- 
rangle locations), and the Bureau's file reference or se- 
quence number. The sequence number is a 10-digit number 
that is unique to the deposit and allows rapid retrieval of 
relevant data from the MAP database. The first three digits 
are the State code (002 for Alaska), the fourth through sixth 
digits are the Bureau's quadrangle number (table 4), and 
the last four digits are a unique number for each mineral 
deposit. Three other file references are included: the Mine 
Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) number (Mid 
number), which is assigned by MSHA to active properties; 
the USGS's Mineral Resources Data System (MRDS) num- 
ber (MRDS is the former USGS Computerized Resources 
Information Bank (CRIB)); and Alaska Kardex numbers, 
a system maintained by the ADGGS to monitor the status 
of mining claim activity in the State. 

Appendix Listing.— -The appendix consists of a listing 
of each of 214 significant mineral deposits that do not have 
a publishable reserve and grade figure. In order to save 
space, the format consists simply of deposit name, map 



number, commodities, and an extensive list of bibliographic 
references. Deposits in the appendix may be as important 
or perhaps of greater significance than deposits with full 
abstracts, but insufficient information exists to warrant 
their inclusion in the main body of the report.

COMMODITY AND DEPOSIT SELECTION 



This publication is in a sense a directory of significant 
mineral deposits in the State of Alaska. Deposit and com- 
modity coverage mainly reflects the Bureau's work con- 
ducted under MAP, which is concerned with a continuing 
assessment of the geologic, engineering, and economic 
availability of mineral supplies for the U.S. economy. 
Although the Bureau's ultimate objective is to incorporate 
all nonfuel mineral commodities into MAP, current MAP 
studies cover only the commodities shown below: 
Aluminum :|: Gold *Platinum 

*Antimony *Graphite Potash 

* Asbestos *Iron Rare earths 

*Barite *Lead *Silver 

^Beryllium Lithium Sulfur 

:i Chromium Magnesium *Tin 

:i: Cobalt Manganese Titanium 

Columbium- *Mercury Thorium 

tantalum *Molybdenum *Tungsten 

"Copper *Nickel *Zinc 

'Fluorspar Phosphate Zirconium- 

hafnium 

All of these commodities, with the exception of hafnium, 
reportedly occur in Alaska. Based on current knowledge, 
however, only those marked by asterisks appear to have 
potential commercial production opportunities based on 
deposit size, grade, and market. This publication focuses 
on deposits whose principal commodity is 1 of the 20 com- 
modities so marked. 

Under MAP, the Bureau has evaluated nearly 40 de- 
posits in Alaska. Most were found to have identified 



reserves or resources; it is these deposits that form the core 
of the deposit abstract section in this report. Description 
of other properties that appear to have commercial poten- 
tial and that have yet to be evaluated under MAP are also 
included to provide more complete commodity coverage. 
Final deposit selection was made after consultation with 
individuals and agencies familiar with the Alaska mining 
industry. In addition to hosting one of the commodities 
listed above (as a principal commodity), a deposit had to 
meet one or more of the following criteria: 

1. It had been evaluated under MAP. 

2. Its reserves or resources had been published. (Several 
deposits were included that have minor reserve estimates, 
to indicate the type of reserve and grade typically found 
in a district.) 

3. It was a producing or past producing mine with 
known production potential. 

4. It was a nonproducing property with a known pro- 
duction potential based on proprietary and/or public ex- 
ploration and economic data. 

5. There was sufficient nonproprietary geological and 
development data to permit completion of a deposit abstract. 

Deposit abstracts have been prepared for 67 of the sig- 
nificant deposits, including significant placer deposits with 
publishable reserve data. However, coverage of all the sig- 
nificant placer deposits in Alaska at this level of detail is 
beyond the scope of this publication. Instead, a summary 
of the major placer districts in the State is given in the 
following section. 



SUMMARY OF MINING ACTIVITY IN ALASKA 



Mining has taken place in some form or another since 
the aboriginal inhabitants first used gold, copper, and other 
metals for ornamental beadwork, jewelry, utensils, and 
weapons (720). Gold mining has dominated the history of 
mining in Alaska. Largely as a result of placer mining, 
Alaska ranks in the top four States in total gold produc- 
tion (296). Of the more than 30 million tr oz of gold that 
have been produced from Alaska, about two-thirds has come 
from placer deposits. Table 5 provides a listing of Alaskan 



placer production and compares the relative productivity 
of the various Alaskan placer districts. 6 



"The production amounts and years given are those listed in the source 
1490). However, Bureau of Mines mining district names are used. Produc- 
tion figures for years past 1959 were not added to the table because different 
reporting methods have been used since that time. The Bureau is currently 
assessing placer production figures for Alaska mining districts, and more 
up-to-date production totals will be published in the near future.

The first reports of European-discovered gold in the ter- 
ritory came from a Russian-American Co. party, who found 
gold on the Russian River drainage on the Kenai Penin- 
sula in 1834 (720). 

In the 1850's, the Russians began mining coal on the 
Kenai Peninsula for local use and to fuel ships. The Russian- 
American Co. attempted to export coal to a Russian colony 
in California from their mine at Port Graham but that ven- 
ture failed, although the mine continued to produce for local 
and maritime use (50). 

Americans began mining placer gold in southeast 
Alaska in the late 1860's. It was reported that 2,000 tr oz 
had been produced from Windham and Holkam Bays by 
1871 (121). During this period, hard-rock mining com- 
menced at the Stewart Mine near Sitka, also in southeast 
Alaska. 

Joseph Juneau and Richard Harris found placer gold 
in 1880 at what is now called Gold Creek near present-day 
Juneau. Their search was aided by natives who showed 
Juneau and Harris the gold they had found in the area. 
Extensive placer mining took place at Gold Creek, and even- 
tually large low-grade gold lode deposits were discovered, 
several of which were in production by 1882. 

On Douglas Island, across the channel from Juneau, the 
Treadwell Mining complex was developed into a world-class 
underground gold mine by 1887. There was a disastrous 
cave-in and subsequent flooding in 1917, which perman- 
ently closed three of the four mines that made up the com- 
plex. When the last mine, the Ready Bullion, closed in 1922, 
over 3 million tr oz of gold had been produced from 28.2 
million st of ore (720). During the early years of the develop- 
ment of the Juneau area, there were also discoveries and 
production from the Fortymile district (1886), the Kenai 
Peninsula (1888), Unga Island (1891), and the Circle district 
(1893). 

The Klondike gold rush in the Yukon Territory in 1896 
led to increased prospecting activity in Alaska and to 
similar rushes in Nome (1898), Fairbanks (1902), Iditarod 
(1909), and Livengood (1914). 

The early 1900's also saw production of placer tin from 
the Seward Peninsula and marble, gypsum, and garnet from 
various locations in southeast Alaska. 

During this time, copper mines went into production in 
southeast Alaska. By 1905 there were 10 mines producing 
copper from the area west of Ketchikan. After completion 
of the 186-mile-long railroad from Cordova to McCarthy in 
1911, production began from the world-famous Kennecott 
copper mines near McCarthy (121 ). The Kennecott mines 
produced a staggering amount of high-grade ore; at one time 



12 



in 1916 the aerial tramway that carried material from the 
hillside mines to the mill transported 175 st/d of crude ore 
averaging 70 pet Cu. The Kennecott operation closed in 
1938^ 

During World War I. there was also some small, high- 
grade production of tungsten, antimony, and chromium 
from various locations (121). 

When the Alaska Railroad was completed in the 1920's, 
larger scale coal production began from both the Matanuska 
and Healy coalfields. This lower cost source of power en- 
couraged the major mining companies to enlarge their 
operations. They brought large, electric-powered dredges 
into the Fairbanks area, and their success soon encouraged 
companies in several other districts to do the same. 

Silver lodes were developed at several locations in the 
State, including Hyder in southeast Alaska and Kantishna, 
north of Mount McKinley in the interior. The late 1920's 
saw a profit finally come to the Alaska Juneau gold mine 
in southeast Alaska after several operators and many lean 
years had passed. The Alaska Juneau Mine became famous 
as one of the lowest grade gold mines ever operated at a 
profit. It continued producing almost continuously until 
1944 when it closed because of increased costs for both labor 
and operations. 

In 1926, platinum was discovered at Goodnews Bay. A 
bucket line dredge that operated continuously for 40 yr was 
later installed (121). Alaska has been the largest producer 
of platinum metals in the United States. More than 98 pet 
of Alaskan platinum production has come from two mines 
in Alaska: Goodnews Bay produced over 545,000 tr oz, and 
the Salt Chuck Mine, near Ketchikan, produced over 22,000 
tr oz between 1907 and 1940. 

Most mineral production was on a downswing as the 
Great Depression approached at the end of the 1920's. In 
1934, the U.S. Government raised the price of gold from 
$20.67/tr oz to $35.00/tr oz. This caused both placer and lode 
gold production to increase dramatically through the 1930's. 

During World War II, the U.S. Government declared 
that gold mining was a nonessential industry and therefore 
closed almost all gold mines in the United States. The 
Alaska Juneau and several other gold mines were exempted 
from the closure because they contained byproducts impor- 
tant to the war effort and were judged important to the local 
economies. Platinum production continued at Goodnews 
Bay. Antimony, mercury, tungsten, chromium, asbestos, 
coal, and sand and gravel were all produced in varying 
amounts, often with Federal subsidies, to support the war 
effort. Most operations closed at the end of the war. 



During the Korean war, the U.S. Government financed 
construction of a mine at the Lost River tin deposit, one of 
the largest tin reserves in North America. The reserves had 
been blocked out by the Government during World War II 
in preparation for production that did not come about at 
that time. Government financing ended after the war, and 
the mine was closed in 1956. Tin placers have been mined 
in the area since that time. 

The Bokan Mountain uranium (thorium) lode deposit 
was put into production in 1955. This southeast Alaska 
deposit produced intermittently until 1971. 

Gold production recovered after World War II, only to 
go into a slow, steady decline from 1950 to 1972 when the 
price of gold was decontrolled by the Government and 
allowed to be set in the marketplace. Between 1972 and 
1980 there was a threefold increase in the quantity of gold 
produced. As shown in table 6, gold production has con- 
tinued its upward climb.

By 1957, mercury production had reached its highest 
level. Production peaked at nearly 20 pet of U.S. require- 
ments and continued at this level until 1963. The mercury- 
producing area was centered in the Aniak district in 
southwest Alaska. 

In 1958, Fremont Mining Co. discovered nickel-copper 
sulfides in nunataks, or rock islands, near the edge of Brady 
Glacier in what is now Glacier Bay National Park (518). 
Extensive drilling through glacier ice delineated one of the 
largest nickel deposits in the United States. 

The 1960's were marked by increased use of helicopter- 
supported exploration efforts in remote terrain. The Ambler 
schist belt of copper mineralization in northwest Alaska was 
explored, and many major deposits were discovered, such 
as the Arctic deposit, which was discovered by Bear Creek 
Mining Co. in 1965. 

The USGS located chrysotile fiber near Slate Creek in 
the Fortymile district in 1968. Doyon Regional Corp., one 
of the Native companies formed through the Alaska Native 



13 



Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA), chose the area in one of 
its allotted land selections in the mid-1970's. In 1980, Doyon 
announced the discovery of a major deposit. 

In 1974, geologists working for U.S. Borax and Chemical 
Corp. followed anomalous stream sediment samples to a sur- 
face outcrop of molybdenite that turned out to be part of 
a world-class porphyry molybdenum deposit. Quartz Hill, 
located about 45 miles east of Ketchikan, is now known to 
be one of the world's largest molybdenum deposits. 

The first indications of mineralization at the now- 
developing Red Dog zinc-lead deposit were geochemical 
anomalies announced by the USGS in 1968. As a result of 
publicity generated by a Bureau of Mines press release in 
1976, several companies staked claims in the area of the 
deposit, although much of the land was closed to mineral 
entry. NANA, a Native corporation, selected the same area, 



and ownership of the deposit was in doubt for several years. 
NANA and Cominco Alaska are now working together to 
develop the property. Other major zinc-lead deposits have 
been located in the vicinity. 

The announcement of the discovery of the Greens Creek 
zinc, lead, copper, silver, and gold deposit came in 1977. 
Greens Creek is located near Juneau on Admiralty Island. 

Many people see the development of several large 
deposits in Alaska's future (119). As these new Alaskan 
mines move closer to production, it is probable that the in- 
frastructure necessary to develop them will encourage 
owners to bring other nearby deposits into production. The 
development into production of Alaskan mines will depend 
upon world metal prices, the stability of the Alaskan in- 
vestment climate, and the availability of infrastructure in 
interior Alaska. 



INFRASTRUCTURAL AND INSTITUTIONAL FACTORS AFFECTING 
MINING ACTIVITIES IN ALASKA 



ELECTRIC POWER 

The State of Alaska's electrical power generation 
systems consist of the central systems associated with elec- 
tricity generation in the railbelt area (the area traversed 
by the Alaska Railroad, between Seward and Fairbanks) 
and the decentralized systems associated with electricity 
generation in rural areas. Alaska's electrical power is 
generated by utilities, industry, military, and independent 
operators (in rural and isolated areas). The utilities and 
independent operators account for 66.6 pet (1,374 MW) of 
Alaska's installed capacity, industry accounts for 23.5 pet 
(485 MW), and national defense for 9.9 pet (205 MW) (9). 
Figure 4 shows the locations of electrical generating sys- 
tems; table 7 shows their installed capacities. Figure 5 
shows typical price ranges for energy in 1981 by region. 

Figure 6 shows existing electrical transmission systems 
in Alaska. Table 8 lists costs and specifications of various 
types of transmission line construction. 

Electrical generation in Alaska is powered primarily by 
natural gas, diesel (fuel oil), hydroelectric power, and coal, 



as discussed in following sections. Electric costs to the con- 
sumer in Alaska range from 5<t to 6<t/kW*h in Anchorage 
to 27<P/kW«h ($2.00/gal fuel oil) in the bush communities (9). 
Electricity supplies should be adequate for new mining 
and mineral processing facilities located close to major 
power sources and transmission lines. New mining and 
mineral processing facilities in remote locations would re- 
quire their own electrical generation plants. 



NATURAL GAS 

Alaska's natural gas is produced in two areas: the North 
Slope region, and the Cook Inlet area. The North Slope 
region contains 29 trillion ft 3 of proven reserves, while Cook 
Inlet contains 3 trillion ft 3 of proven reserves (table 9). 

Cook Inlet gas is used for in-State heating and electrical 
generation for residential, commercial, and industrial users 
in south-central Alaska. North Slope natural gas from the 
Barrow gas field supplies the community of Barrow.

Two natural gas processing facilities are located at 
Kenai, where a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant processes 
50 billion ft 3 /yr, and an ammonia-urea plant processes 50 
to 51 billion fVVyr (9). 

Construction costs of natural gas pipelines in Alaska 
range from $300 to $400 per mile in 1982 dollars. Cost of 
Cook Inlet gas to its customers, based on pipeline costs, is 
$1.76 to $3.42/Mft 3 + cost of gas + cost of local distribu- 
tion. At a $2.32 gas price (1982) + $1.80/Mft 3 , the range 
of consumer gas prices would be $5.88 to $7.54/Mft 3 (41). 

If a pipeline were to be built from the North Slope to 
Fairbanks, the cost of natural gas would be $3.00 to 
$5.00/Mft 3 (pipeline cost + cost of gas) + $2.00 to $2.50/Mft 3 
(distribution costs) = $5.00 to $5.50/Mft 3 (consumer price). 
Current cost (1982 price) for Fairbanks customers is 
$10.00/Mft 3 (41).

OIL 



Alaska's oils are not extensively used by the larger elec- 
tric utilities, because they are supplied by natural gas, coal, 
and hydropower. Diesel fuel is used extensively in the rural 
communities for electrical generation. The cost of two sizes 
of diesel electrical generation plants are shown on table 11. 

Proven reserves of crude oil in Alaska are estimated at 
8.7 billion bbl onshore and 0.2 billion bbl offshore, as shown 
on table 12 (9).

Four in-State refineries have the potential to supply 58 
pet of Alaska's refined petroleum products, such as diesel 
and gasoline. Two refineries are located at Kenai and have 
capacities of 22,000 bbl/d and 48,500 bbl/d; a North Pole 
refinery has a capacity of 46,000 bbl/d; and a Prudhoe Bay 
refinery has a 14,000 bbl/d capacity (9). However, because 
of marketing and transportation considerations, much of 
the refined products are shipped out-of-State, and many re- 
quired petroleum products are shipped into Alaska for con- 
sumption. The Alaska petroleum product distribution net- 
work is shown on figure 7. 



HYDROELECTRIC POWER 

Alaska possesses the highest undeveloped hydroelectric 
power potential in the entire United States. Hydroelectric 
power could be a viable alternative for a small-scale min- 



ing operation. Table 13 lists the costs of a small-scale 
hydroelectric plant in Alaska. 

Hydroelectric power can provide an inexpensive and in- 
exhaustible source of electricity. Power costs vary according 
to the scale of the facility and the size of the demand it 
serves.

Coals in Alaska are mostly subbituminous, though 
grading from lignite to anthracite in rank. At present, coal 
is used for electric power generation at Healy in interior 
Alaska. Future utilization of Alaskan coal depends upon 
development of markets that will be able to bear the trans- 
portation costs, and the economics of competing sources of 
energy. 



TRANSPORTATION 

Alaska's transportation system is extremely diverse, as 
it must move people and goods over great distances. The 
system includes rail, highway, air, and water transporta- 
tion. Transportation in Alaska has developed because of the 
growth of economic activity in mining, petroleum, timber, 
defense, fisheries, and government. 

The major population centers in Alaska have access to 
land, air, and water transportation systems. These cities 
are the hub of the transportation networks in which peo- 
ple and goods are moved into and out of the rural com- 
munities. The transportation network in turn has an effect 
on the development of the State's resources. 



Rai 



Alaska is served by one operating railroad, the Alaska 
Railroad, which is a public-owned line operated by the State 
of Alaska. Authorized by the U.S. Congress in 1914 and 
completed in 1924, the railroad was operated by the Federal 
Government until 1985. The railroad has 470 miles of track 
running from Seward to Anchorage to Fairbanks, and also 
65 miles of branch lines (fig. 8). The railroad is a light- 
density line providing passenger and freight service. Dur- 
ing 1984, the railroad hauled 8.3 million st of freight, of 
which 6.5 million st were sand and gravel, and 642,000 st 
were coal (295, p. 28). The track and bridges are built to 
accommodate cars carrying loads up to 100 st with most 
bulk (gravel and coal) cars limited to 80 st, to limit track 
wear 114). 



Early roads and trails in Alaska were constructed to 
haul supplies to mining camps. These early routes followed 
native trails or were constructed by the miners, the U.S. 
Army, or the Alaska Road Commission. The Alaska road 
system contains 10,000 miles of highways, roads, and 
streets, as shown in figure 9. 

This system connects the major population centers and 
provides access to the continental United States through 
Canada via the Alcan Highway. Jurisdiction of the roads 
is controlled by (1) the Federal Government with 28 pet of 
the mileage, (2) the State government with 54 pet, and (3) 
local governments with 18 pet (14). 

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public 
Facilities is authorized by statute to participate with 
mineral developers and other private entities in the con- 
struction and maintenance of access roads into mineral 
areas of valid commercial promise that are inaccessible to 
truck haulage, and into State lands programmed for sur- 
face disposal. In the case of mineral access roads, the road 
becomes the property of the State and as long as the road 
is open to the public, the State will participate in road 
maintenance. The State has no obligation to maintain ac- 
cess roads into State land disposal areas (14).

Air 



Marine 



Alaska's air transportation system provides a vital link 
between the major population centers and rural Alaska. 
Alaska's large and sparsely populated land mass and the 
limited availability of alternate transportation modes in the 
rural areas have played a major role in the development 
of air transportation. Air transportation has proven ex- 
tremely flexible, diverse, and unique in meeting the 
transportation requirements in Alaska. 

Alaska has about 995 airports, with 195 in private use 
and 800 open to the public (14). International airports in- 
clude Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, and Ketchikan. Many 
community airports and smaller airstrips are unpaved 
gravel runways. 

Air transportation is most commonly used in rural areas 
and in outlying metropolitan areas, where transportation 
of passengers and high-value freight is the largest usage. 
The types of airplanes used in the rural areas range from 
small single-propeller aircraft to large multipropeller 
and jet-engine aircraft, as well as rotorwing aircraft 
(helicopters). 



The Alaska Marine Highway System serves those com- 
munities that are not connected by land highway or railroad 
networks. Service is provided to communities located along 
Alaska's coastline from southeast to the north shore and 
along the major rivers (Yukon and Kuskokwim) in the 
interior. 

Anchorage, Whittier, and Valdez are the major ice-free 
port cities in Alaska. Other port cities, including Nome, 
Bethel, Barrow, and Fairbanks, are seasonal because of 
winter freezeup. 

Alaska relies heavily on marine transportation as its 
primary means of cargo movement within the State and also 
to and from markets on the west coast of the United States 
and in various foreign countries. Transported materials in- 
clude food, consumer goods, wood products, petroleum, bulk 
fertilizer, minerals, and fisheries products. Table 15 lists 
tariffs of selected commodities from Seattle to various 
Alaskan ports, and table 16 lists costs for barge charters 
from Seattle to various Alaskan ports. The approximate 
charge rate for a tug is $10,750/day and for a barge, 
$l,900/day (14).

River 

The first extensive transportation system into interior- 
Alaska was along the State's major rivers, listed in table 
17. The rivers have influenced the settlement of Alaska, 
especially along the Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers. 

Alaska's rivers are used to transport low-value, high- 
volume freight (gravel and fuel oil) to communities along 
the river during the ice-free summers (14). 



REGULATION 

Mining and mineral exploration are vital to the econo- 
mies of numerous communities throughout the State as the 
industry brings jobs, revenues, and satellite industries. 



Regulations governing the development of Alaska's 
mineral resources occur at both the Federal and State levels. 
State and Federal mining laws differ, so if there is any ques- 
tion as to the land status, it is best to stake according to 
both State and Federal laws. Any questions regarding land 
status can be directed to the Alaska Department of Natural 
Resources, Division of Lands, or to the U.S. Bureau of Land 
Management (BLM). 

Federal mining laws are set forth in the U.S. Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR), titles 30 and 43, amended 
December 15, 1977, 95th Congress, first session. Regula- 
tions pertaining to Federal claims are located in the CFR, 
title 43, part 3800, and are administered by the BLM (667). 
The major portion of the Federal mining laws deals with 
claim location (lode and placer), tunnel sites, mill sites, 
recordation, and assessment work. Patent may be given to 
claimants who hold valid mining claims and mill sites that 
meet the "prudent man" test (397). 

Mining regulations on State of Alaska land are covered 
in Alaska statutes 38.05.185 through 38.05.280. The law 
is administered by the State Division of Lands under the 
regulations in title II, division I, chapter 6 of the Alaska 
Administrative Code (397). The State regulations deal 
mainly with claim location, recording, and assessment 
work. The State is required by the Statehood Act (Public 
Law 85-508) to retain title to minerals in all lands selected 
by the State, and by the Submerged Lands Act (Public Law 
83-31) to minerals in tide, submerged, and shore lands. 
Alaska statutes 38.05.125 provides for reservation of 
minerals in all State lands except those acquired by gift, 
escheat, or foreclosure. Therefore, the State of Alaska may 
not sell or convey mineral rights to the private sector except 
for those in lands acquired by gift, escheat, or foreclosure.

Those minerals not covered under the locatable mineral 
laws may be obtained through the leasable mineral laws. 
Mineral rights for leasable minerals located on Federal, 
State, or private lands are reserved by the Federal or State 
Governments. Leasable minerals include oil, natural gas, 
oil shale, asphalt, bitumen, coal, phosphate, sodium, and 
potassium; in the State of Alaska, sulfur is also included. 

Water rights in Alaska are covered by the Water Use 
Act of 1966. The law (1) applies to all waters in the State 
including those on Federal, State, and private lands, (2) 
recognizes existing water rights, (3) provides acquisition of 
water rights under a permit system, and (4) allows sale or 
transfer of water rights. The Water Use Act is administered 
by the State Division of Land and Water Management, 
Department of Environmental Conservation. The State of 
Alaska Department of Fish and Game has jurisdiction of

TAXATION 

The Alaska mineral tax structure is made up of three 
different taxes: (1) mining license tax, (2) State corporate 
income tax, and (3) local property taxes (972). 

The mining license tax is a special tax on mining ac- 
tivity, which requires that all new mining operators obtain 
licenses. New operations, except sand and gravel, are ex- 
empt for the first 3.5 yr after production begins. The tax 
is based on net income with allowable deductions including 
operating costs, royalties, depreciation, depletion, develop- 
ment costs, taxes (other than license tax), and Federal in- 
come tax. Net income is taxed at the following rates: $40,000 
to $50,000 at 3 pet, $50,000 to $100,000 at 5 pet of excess 
over $50,000 plus $1,500, $100,000-plus at 7 pet of excess 
over $100,000 plus $4,000 (972). 

The State corporate income tax is a tax levied on net 
income derived from sources within the State. No allowance 
is made for Federal income taxes. Table 18 lists the Alaska 
corporate tax rates.

>$90,000 4,500 9_4 90,000 

NOTE. — As an example, taxable income of $1 5,000 has a base tax of $1 00 

plus 2 pet of the taxable income over $10,000, or $100, which gives a total 

tax of $200. 



Source: Reference 972, p. 10. 



The State of Alaska does not administer a property tax, 
but municipalities and boroughs are authorized to levy 
taxes on real and personal property. The property is as- 
sessed on January 1 of every year at its full and true value, 
which is the estimated price the property would bring in 
an open market under prevailing market conditions. Prop- 
erty tax rates are fixed locally, with a maximum of 3 pet 
for cities (972). 



STATE MINERAL DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES 

The State of Alaska has expressed interest in the 
development of a long-term minerals industry to provide 
for sustained economic growth. Presently the oil industry 
provides the majority of the State's royalty income. 
Recognizing the fact that declining oil revenues are in- 
evitable in the future, some steps have been taken to pro- 
vide incentive for mineral development. 



Mining Revolving Loan Fund 

The mining loan fund was established in 1980 by the 
State (AS27.09.010-.060) in order to provide low-interest 



24 



loans to underwrite advanced mineral exploration, develop- 
ment, and mining within Alaska. The program is ad- 
ministered by the Alaska Department of Commerce and 
Economic Development, Division of Investments. As of June 
L985, a total of 54 loans with a value of $20.3 million were 
outstanding. The balance of the fund as of May 30, 1985, 
was approximately $31.5 million. 

Individual borrowers must be residents of the State and 
have at least 5 yr experience in prospecting or mining in 
Alaska. In partnerships, Alaskan residents must make up 
at least 50 pet, with at least half of the partners having 5 
yr experience in the State. A corporation is eligible if at 
least 51 pet of its shares are held by persons having at least 
5 yr mining or prospecting experience in the State and at 
least 51 pet of its shares are held by persons who are 
residents of Alaska. Loans may be granted for up to $5 
million at an interest rate of 10 pet per annum with a max- 
imum term of 15 yr. No loan may exceed 75 pet of the value 
of the collateral offered. Terms of all loans are fixed by a 
loan committee appointed by the Commissioner of the De- 
partment of Commerce and Economic Development. Ap- 
proval of loans requires a majority consensus of the loan 
committee. 

The borrower pays all costs incurred in processing the 
loan application but is not required to pay a commitment 
fee, closing fee, or other costs not directly related to the ad- 
ministrative expense of processing the loan application. 
Principal repayment of loans other than those for placer 
mining commences not later than 1 yr after production 
begins or 5 yr from the date of the loan, whichever comes 
first. Principal repayment of placer loans must commence 
by the end of the second placer mining season after the loan 
is made. Accrual of interest for all loans begins when the 
loan is made, and interest must be repaid each year. 

Placer Mining Demonstration Grants 

Placer mining demonstration grants are an example of 
the State of Alaska's willingness to encourage modern, en- 



vironmentally sound mineral development. Grants are 
designed to provide funds for research in innovative placer 
mining methods to decrease environmental damage. The 
program was initiated in July 1984, and a total of 81 ap- 
plications were received prior to the February 1985 dead- 
line. A total of 30 grants worth $2.7 million were issued 
by the State Departments of Environmental Conservation 
and Natural Resources. 

Both reduction in environmental damage and increased 
gold recovery should result from the program. Increased 
gold recovery reduces the probability that a stream will be 
continually remined, in addition to benefiting the mining 
operation's revenues. 



Special Assistance 

In keeping with its commitment to encourage mineral 
development, the Alaska legislature passed two bills in 1985 
designed to assist in the development of the Red Dog deposit, 
90 miles north of Kotzebue. The State will finance a $65 
million port facility and a $85 million road from the coast 
to the mine site. Cominco Alaska, operators of the Red Dog 
project, had stated that such assistance was required in 
order to proceed with development of the high-grade zinc- 
lead-silver deposit. The State investment will be repaid by 
user fees and taxes and should return about $620 million 
over the proposed 30-yr operating period of the mine. Con- 
struction of the road and port may prompt development of 
additional base-metal deposits in the area. 



ABSTRACTS OF SELECTED DEPOSITS IN ALASKA 

As previously described, the heart of this publication 
consists of single-page, site-specific deposit abstracts for 67 
selected deposits in Alaska. Figure 1 and tables 1 and 2 
serve as indexes for the deposit abstract section.
